Despite increasing research on calling, how calling functions for those experiencing transition from school to work and how their calling prior to working relates to later well-being and job outcomes has been understudied. The current study explored effects of perceiving a calling on job satisfaction and job performance, as measured at organizational entry and 2 years after organizational entry. Using a time-lagged collection of a sample of South Korean newcomers, the results based on structural equation modeling revealed that perceiving a calling was positively related to supervisor-rated job performance. Job involvement, which was measured 1 year later, fully mediated the relation between perceiving a calling and job satisfaction, but the hypothesized mediating role of job involvement on the link between perceiving a calling and job performance was not supported. We also examined moderating roles of perceived organizational support and perceived personjob fit on the relation between perceiving a calling on job involvement and found that perceived organizational support facilitated the effects of perceiving a calling on job involvement. Implications of these findings are discussed.
尽管对使命感的研究日益增多，但使命感如何影响从学校过渡到工作阶段的人，以及他们工作前的使命感如何与后来的幸福感和工作成果相关联，这些方面的研究仍不足。本研究探讨了在入职时和入职两年后所衡量的使命感认知对工作满意度和工作绩效的影响。通过对韩国新入职员工样本进行时间滞后收集，基于结构方程模型的结果显示，使命感认知与上级评定的工作绩效呈正相关。一年后测量的工作投入完全中介了使命感认知与工作满意度之间的关系，但工作投入在使命感认知与工作绩效之间的假设中介作用未得到支持。我们还检验了感知到的组织支持和感知到的个人与工作匹配度在使命感认知与工作投入关系中的调节作用，发现感知到的组织支持促进了使命感认知对工作投入的影响。讨论了这些发现的意义。
